Rag top

What do you guys use to keep the rag top looking new. I have a few stretch marks, although slight, I would like to keep my three year old black top looking like new

Restore color with Renovo or Protex. Maintain with 303. All available on Amazon.

If it's already like-new, you don't need to do much to maintain it. I keep mine parked in the garage and take 15 seconds to wipe it down with a microfiber towel after every 1-2 drives. I usually don't wash it when I wash the car because it's already clean from wiping it down after almost every drive. I wouldn't bother with those ragtop cleaners unless you have some huge bird droppings or tree sap. Why risk applying chemicals that will make it fade faster? I also apply 303 a couple times a year to protect it from the elements.

Vacuum with the soft brush attachment to remove dust, wash with very mild soap (Woolite) if needed, protect with Sunbrella 303. Water's still beading after last 303 treatment 4 months ago.
